Yeah, looking forward to learning more about Knight. From what I read, he's really a great kid.

I really liked Joe Johnson when he was here. His exit kinda soured me, but I remember defending him on the ESPN Boards and saying once they got rid of Penny he'd be the man and then it actually coming true. Damn would could of been if only we signed JJ to that extension the yr before he left.

Wow. I did not see that coming. Nice to see some love for Green.

You don't remember I used to make trade proposals to acquire him like once a week on the old board? He's so fun to watch and by all accounts is a really good guy. I don't think he's in the front office's plans after this year but things can change... quickly as we've seen.

I really don't understand why everybody is so eager to dump him and that everybody assumes he won't be here next year.

If Hornacek could just get him to stop bring the ball up the court, I'd like him even that much more.

I can't believe that INF was the only one that voted for Kieff!

It's not bringing it up court that gets Green in trouble. It's holding onto it too long and making stupid passes in traffic. Tucker also scares me when he tries to handle the ball. Overall, way too much dribbling on this team; perhaps getting rid of IT will help remedy that (one can only hope).

One aspect that has gone under the radar is that after the moves our bball IQ has not improved. That's an area that needs a ton of work.

How do we know? I understand Knight is one smart cookie.

LOL.....He begged me to make Ryan Mcdonuagh a choice but I had to decline.

Interesting how LB is higher then Nash on both of your guys list.

FTR, I loved LB. I dunno how you couldn't like him? But who's the one poster here who absolutely hated him? Was it Saucy?

My bad. Thought for sure it had to be INF.

If ya don't mind me asking, what put barbosa on that list for you?

Barbosa played with a certain enthusiasm that was infectious. You don't see many players who go out there and have fun without chest-thumping and scowling nowadays.

I loved Barbosa. His prime was ruined by Terry Porter (who didn't know substitutions were allowed in the first or third quarter) and a couple of flukey injuries. I always thought he took a little too much flack on this board for being a sensitive kid and for his "out of control drives," which were much less of a problem later in his Suns tenure.

Porter wasn't here long enough to ruin anything. (As hard as he tried in his limited time here.)

My list is not in any particular order, btw.

F that. Dude ruined a shot at a championship. That might have been the most talented collection of players we ever put together. I was at that first scrimmage, and everything was so sloooooww. I was thinking, wtf?

Happened to see the team at a bar that night actually. Shaq and STAT weren't with them. Boris had a girl on each knee.

Such a tragic season.

I vote Bledsoe. I like his game. Character is not that important to me. I'm way too far away to catch the personality of the players. I like that he takes responsability in crunchtime, which sometimes leades to make mistakes. He's had a rough start of the season, but lately I've been happy with his performances. I also like markieff because of his ability to score in very creative ways.

My List:
1.KJ
2.Nash
3.Dan Langhi

Repeatedly beating his wife drops him off my list. I know these guys are ball players and not role models, but there is a special place in hell for a guy that beats women.

Raja Bell would be up there for me. Maybe not top 5, but def top 10. That 2006 run alone, I felt like everything he did and said about Kobe he did in the name of every suns fan.

Please don't bring up that extension. It hurts too much still.
